It takes place the viral moment of the last series of Netflix on the golf course may have been as much a surprise for the main protagonist as those who look.
The assertion of Keegan Bradley, the United States Captain Ryder Cup, during his full contingent, “will go to Bethpage to kick in September” immediately looked like a golden material for European changing rooms. Shane Lowry, probably an important part of the European team, was requested last week if he was aware of Bradley’s feeling. “Oh yeah,” said the Irishman. “We have all seen it.”

Bradley was invited to address his battery approach after a formidable 69 to open the Arnold Palmer Invitational. “I don’t think Europeans need more motivation to win the Ryder Cup,” said the American captain. “These are a special group of players and the Ryder Cup means a lot for them. And when the Ryder Cup Year and the Ryder Cup arrive, they really seem to meet and play their best golf course. So I think they are motivated enough to fight. “”
More intriguing is the fact that this content emerged in the first place. Bradley himself seemed surprised, a case that we assume that he raised with television producers. The time in question was filmed when the United States won the presidents Cup last year. “I thought I was in a locker room with my team,” said Bradley. “You know, that’s what’s going on in a wardrobe. I did not want to lack respect for Europeans. It was a time when we had just won the Cup of Presidents, I was in the locker room and it was my turn to contact the team. And I wanted to say no lack of respect, I spoke more to our guys.
“I certainly thought I was in the locker room. But, you know, in the world in which we live, I must be more aware that there is always someone running. Again, I didn’t want to lack respect, but we were excited. I had just won, I had just won the Cup of Presidents that I had not played for 10 years, it was an exciting moment for me.
“I was a little surprised, yes. But again, I should know that nowadays, especially with mobile phones, everything is recorded. But who I am. It’s me. I am a fairly excited person. I am very excited by the Ryder Cup. I think my enthusiasm for the Ryder Cup has shown. It was intended for our team. Again, no lack of respect for other guys. »»
It remains to be seen how Bradley’s attitude resonates with the Galeries of the Ryder Cup. There are already fears that this staging of the event could be dominated by a noisy crowd from New York. The United States is looking to recover a trophy that they have lost overall in Rome.
If he continues to play like that, Bradley will qualify for his own team. That he is encouraged to play if ending up near the half-dozen members of the automatic team is another fascinating element of this year Ryder Cup. “I hope it’s not a difficult decision,” added Bradley. “I hope I am in the team or it’s not a decision. If I’m in the top six, I’m going to play. Otherwise, I owe the guys to be a captain, even if I have great vice-caps that could help this. Clear like mud, Keegan.
Scottie Scheffler was generally imperturbable by a brutally difficult day in Orlando. The n ° 1 of the world signed for a 71. Those of struggle included Cameron Young, who collapsed at an 82, and Billy outside the chick, who succeeded only three shots. Min Woo Lee’s 78 and the 77 of Viktor Hovland highlighted the Grind scale more. A 72 from Ludvig Åberg and 71 delivered by Collin Morikawa were impressive. “I think this is the most difficult course we play all year round,” said Bradley. The figures have supported its point a lot.
